Good Morning Friends! Welcome to Day 4 of Stencil Theme Week. It is Dana here today and I am sharing a festive New Year’s card that combines a few new products along with a few “old” favorites. 

Have you been wanting to give stencils a try? Now is a great time to stock up and grab a few favorites. All the stencils are 15% of during this theme week!

For my card, I started by creating my background. I used the Fireworks Stencil along with Gold Glitz Glitter Gel. I lightly sprayed Pixie Spray to the back of my stencil to help hold it in place and added the gel directly over the stenci with a palette knife.

*Make sure you wash your stencil with warm soapy water as soon as possbile, you do not want the gel to dry onto the stencil. 

When you remove the stencil, you are left with a beautiful background. Look at the details and all of the sparkle!

I set my background aside to dry and began working on the rest of my card. I started by stamping the set of penguins from the Penguin Pals Stamp Set along with the party accessories from the Happy New Year Stamp Set with a Copic friendly black ink. I colored the images and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. These little penguins just make me smile, and they are perfect for New Year’s…all dressed and ready to celebrate!

Next, I used the Scallop Circles Die and die cut the inside piece from black cardstock and the frame from gold glitter cardstock. I stamped my sentiment from the Happy New Year Stamp Set with Versamark ink and heat set the sentiment with gold embossing powder. I inlaid the two pieces back together and attached it to my card panel along with my penguins. Lastly, I added a few sequins from the Celebration Confetti Mix to finish my card.

Thanks for joining me today! I hope I inspired you to give stencils a try. There are so many techniques and mediums you can use with stencils to create amazing backgrounds and card elements. Now is a great time to purchase a few stencils and take advantage of the 15% off sale.

Enjoy your day!

Hi Pretty Pink Posh Friends! It’s Jeanne here today and I’m helping celebrate Stencil Theme Week with another technique for you to try!  I love gold, but honestly don’t use it very often because it’s difficult for me to photograph, but if you got this stunner in your hands you’d be hooked! 

All stencils are 15% off during Stencil Theme Week!

Here’s the card I made for today.  It’s got lots to love.. a shiny gold foil stencil, gold foil die cuts and I can’t forget the two cute little bears from the  Giving Thanks stamp set.   

For this technique you’re going to need some Art Deco Transfer Gel, Deco Foil (in any color you like – I used gold), and a laminator. Laminators are very inexpensive – I did a quick check on Amazon and see three that are under $25.  

I use Pixie Spray light adhesive spray whenever working with stencils.  Whatever technique you use, Pixie Spray will keep your stencil in place while your working and is very easy to reposition and remove. 

Use a palate knife, old plastic credit card or scraper to apply the Art Deco Transfer Gel over your stencil (I used the Autumn Leaves stencil).  When you have a smooth application remove the stencil and set your cardstock to the side to dry. Immediately wash the stencil for your next application.

When the Art Deco Gel is clear it’s ready to work with. Simply place your Deco Foil over the cardstock panel, put it inside a folded piece of parchment paper and run it through your laminator.   After you run it through your machine you can peel off the foil sheet and you’ll see it stuck wherever the Art Deco Gel was applied. 

I wanted the little bears to be the focal point of the design so I layered them inside a small Scallop Circles die cut.   

I added a bitty pumpkin and some foliage to add a little color to the design. 

To “ground” the Scallop Circle I added some Stitched Borders 3 behind it.   I adhered them together on their reverse side to create a panel and then attached it to the center of the design.  I find that this keeps things from looking like they’re floating on the page.

The gold on this design is beautiful! I sure hope you give this technique a try! Stop by tomorrow for another day of stencil inspiration and another technique!

Hi crafters! Adelle here and I’m happy to take part in the first Stencil Theme Week where there is inspiration and all stencils are 15% off! Just visit the stencil section on the Pretty Pink Posh website. There are so many fantastic stencils to choose from and no shortage of techniques to use with stencils.

The technique I chose to use was embossing powder. To begin, I inked a background panel with various blue inks. After that was dry I used my anti-static tool on the panel and used the Snowflakes stencil to apply Versamark Embossing Ink with an ink blending tool. I then applied Wow Embossing Powder – Singing in the Rain and heat set it and sprayed the panel using Tsukineko Shimmer Spritz.

After the panel was complete I stamped out a Santa from the Holiday Signs stamp set and colored with Copic markers. I then used white embossing powder for the sentiment.

Copic Colors: B28, B26, B24, B21 (clothes). T3, T0, 0 (beard and moustache). C0, C1, C3, C5, C9 (clothes and shoes). E13, E11, E01 (skin). E49, E47, E59, E57, E37, E33 (wood sign).

Next, I used the curved stitched die from the Stitched Borders 1 set to die cut a hill for Santa. Lastly, I adhered everything to a white card base and popped up Santa using thin foam squares.

Be sure to head on over to the Pretty Pink Posh website and check out the deals in their stencils section! You get so much bang for your buck with stencils.

Hello crafty friends! It’s Yoonsun here today for a couple of Christmas cards using the Leaves & Berries stencil along with other PPP Christmas products.

Save 15% on all individual stencils this week!

I started by creating watercolored Christmas patterns with the Leaves & Berries stencil. I placed the stencil in place onto watercolor paper panel, applied red & green Distress inks over the stencil using blender brush. I then added clean water onto berries & leaves using water brush for watercolor painting effect.

Next, I die cut the Stitched Poinsettias from watercolor paper, applied Distress inks, and then assembled them using foam tape. For the sentiment, I stamped it from the Joy set on white cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black, trimmed it down as a sentiment banner.

To top and bottom part of the card, I decorated it with the Scallop Borders 1 to make it a little more feminine.

For my second card with the Leaves & Berries stencil, I made a white on kraft card. I placed the stencil onto kraft card base, applied white embossing paste.

I die cut the Tree Shaker from watercolor paper, inked it with Walnut Stain Distress ink. I die cut berry & leaves from a separate watercolor paper using the Festive Holly dies, and then applied red & green Distress inks as well.

I adhered sentiment tree & Christmas berry on the centre of the card using foam tape. I embellished with a few 3mm Sparkling Clear sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Join us tomorrow for another day of stencil inspiration!

Hugs, Yoonsun

Hi crafty friends, Alix here sharing inspiration using some products from our newest release. They are adorable and very easy to work with them.

To start with my card, I stamped the images from Winter Wreath stamp set and Holiday Signs stamp set onto a piece of Neenah solar white 80 lbs card stock paper with Memento Black ink and die cut with their coordinating dies. Then I colored them with my trusty copic markers. At this point, I tried to keep my color in different shades of red and green for the traditional holiday look.

It is very easy to prepare the background as well. I splattered gold watercolor paint over a piece of watercolor paper that’s 4.24′ by 5.25″ by tapping the paint brush. Once its dry, I adhere it onto an A2 sized red card stock paper so it created the skinny red stripes for top and bottom of my background. 

At last, I attached my colored images on to the background using Multi Medium Matte and foam tape to finish my today’s card. 

I hope that I brought you some holiday inspiration. Happy card making!

Hi, everyone! It’s Marge for you today. I’m going to share a watercolor sunflower card featuring the beautiful Sunflowers stamp set.

I started by stamping Sunflowers on watercolor paper using Distress Ink Tea Dye. I then colored the blossoms and leaves with my watercolor paints. I cut them all using Sunflowers Coordinating Dies, splattered with white acrylic ink and set them aside. 

Next, I made a partially stenciled background using the new Wafers Stencil and light brown inks. Then I splattered with dark and red metallic ink over the panel.

In turn, I adhered Sunflowers onto the stencil background using Glue Dots and Square Foam Adhesives, then I rounded natural twine several times around the lower part of the panel. The sentiment from Fall Signs stamp set was heat embossed in white on red cardstock and was adhered over the twine. 

Once again, I splatted with some metallic inks all over the scene, adhered Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix around the flowers and then I finished off my card.

That’s it from me for today. Thank you so much for reading this post. Have a wonderful day!
